Shades of grey

View from the house as rains come in from the north

Can you see it?: Day 141

Almost a rainbow – not quite. About as mixed up as the weather at the moment.

Naughty kittycat: Day 138

Rained all day. Soggy cat + clean sofa = kinda cute footprints.

Sun sets on Project Westwind: Day 137

While I am sure there are some Makara residents that wish the title of this post was literally true, the wind farm made for an arresting sight from Wrights Hill during sunset a couple of days ago.

Wild weather we’ve been having of late.

Shepherd's warning:117/365

7am this morning. Stunning – and brief.

If you go down to the garden today….96/365

…you might see Charlotte’s Web strung across the dying fronds of summer flowers.

Oh, it's such a perfect day…88/365

…glad I spent it in Wellington.

Helicopter scenic tours doing a roaring trade (no pun  intended). Harbour was millpond flat and winter was nowhere in sight.

After the severe weather warning comes….67/365

New gumboots, so we are ready for next time.

Maybe not four seasons in one day, but at least three. Rain, gales, thunder lightning – and then this, the calmest of evenings.

Dawn and Simon, bombs and balloons – and duck-shaped profiteroles: 52-57/365

Busy days this week – so a quick post of the last five days’ shots. Random, for sure, but lovely in their varied-ness:-)

1. Those early morning runs are already in darkness – autumn’s on its way. Still, this dawn silhouette shot shows you that it can still be incredibly beautiful at 6.30am:-)

2. Weather bomb arrives in Karori, blocking out the sun, followed by (3) Simon Schama and I laughing about how quickly he name-checked my Karen Walker dress.

4. Duck-shaped profiteroles at Le Canard in Wellington (mais bien sur!) – and (5) a balloon peeks out from the Karori ‘burbs.
